We had a couple inquiries in adapting an AI spigot for Manners and McMillan Stocks. I think we've come up with an adapter that can be fit into the front portion of Manners and McMillan Stocks. Although we are still way early in the prototype phase. My question is how many of you would be interested in this? The advantages of the AI spigot would be to move the bipod forward that should make the rifle sit better for long range shots. It should also move the bipod centerline a little closer to the barrel. We would be using our spigot rails that can be seen here >>> http://www.bigdogsteel.com/bigdogstaisp.html
Along with the new adapter we would be making. I spoke with Tom @ Manners today about the adapter and he seems to like the idea.

+1??
 
Re: Gauging Interest *AI Spigot for Manners Stocks*

We don't have final costs together. It is still early in development. I'm sure it would be reasonable.

My thought was just get an idea of how many people might actually be interested in the product before we made a bunch of them.
 
Re: Gauging Interest *AI Spigot for Manners Stocks*

Sorry did not necessarily mean price but what we would have to do to install it to a stock that we already have, can we do it, would it be easy, can you do it? Sorry if I wasn't to clear about that.

Thanks

Walter,

Yes, the design would be able to be inletted in existing or new stocks. The install could be done by us or Manners.

I would definitely be interested in this... I've actually got an order in at Manners right now that I would be willing to let you use as a guinea pig. Please keep me informed...

Seconds on being a guinea pig!
 
Re: Gauging Interest *AI Spigot for Manners Stocks*


Are you talking about a hole in the front of the stock , so a AI bipod fits into the end of the Manners stocl , ala Parker Hale M85 ?

If so that would be a good thing to do .

Later Chris
 
Wondering... have this ever moved on? In case it´s past dream, any other option of mounting the spigot unit into a conventional stock short of devconning it directly in?
